VISIT NCICAP.ORG] WISN NEWS STARTS RIGHT NOW. WITH BREAKING NEWS. PROTESTERS COME FACE-TO-FACE WITH POLICE AS UNREST IN FERGUSON SPREADS TO CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING HERE IN MILWAUKEE. FROM HERE TO BOSTON AND NEW YORK CITY, PROTESTS SPILLED INTO THE STREETS, BLOCKING TRAFFIC, AND CLASHING WITH OFFICERS. WE'LL START HERE IN MILWAUKEE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. POLICE SAY TWO OFFICERS WERE HURT TRYING TO PREVENT PROTESTERS FROM GETTING INSIDE THE BRADLEY CENTER, WHERE THE BUCKS HAD A GAME TONIGHT. THEY DID MAKE IT INSIDE A DOWNTOWN MALL. 12 NEWS' TERRY SATER WAS THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. HE IS LIVE ON WISCONSIN AVENUE. TERRY, ONE PERSON WAS TAKEN TO THE GROUND AT GUNPOINT. THEY THOUGHT HE HAD A WEAPON. POLICE THEN LEARNED IT WAS A MULTITOOL. YOU SEES QUAD VEHICLES OUT IN FRONT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS. THERE HAS BEEN A ROVING BAND OF 20 YOUNG MEN MARCHING THROUGH DOWNTOWN. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THEY ARE PART OF A FORMAL PROTEST. IT IS DRAWING A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM POLICE. SO FAR, NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE. IT GOT STARTED EARLIER AT RED ERROL PARKER THAT IS WHERE A POLICE OFFICER SHOT AND KILLED DONTRE HAMILTON. THE FAMILY TOOK TO THE STREETS DEMANDING JUSTICE HERE AND IN FERGUSON. THE HAMILTON FAMILY P SALT PROTEST FROM RED ARROW PARK THROUGH THE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN. AT ONE POINT, PROTESTERS BROKE NEW GROUND AND ENTER GRAND AVENUE MALL. THIS MAN SAYS HE MARCHES BECAUSE OF FERGUSON AND HIS BROTHER DONTRE HAMILTON. I AM SURE AROUND THE WORLD THAT THEY WOULD EXPECT A GROUP OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD CAUSE SOME TYPE OF DAMAGE, BUT DAMAGE WILL NOT GET US JUSTICE.

ALISA THEY WERE TOLD THAT ONE OF THE DEMONSTRATORS HAD A WEAPON AND OFFICERS APPROACHED, GUNS DRAWN. THEY LATER LET THE MAN GO WITHOUT ARREST. THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS PEACEFUL.
